I need a Dragon!

Ripple, "Helping" with the Blog

One of the things I have found since moving into my flat is the lack of companionship, not so much human companionship as the non-human. We used to have cats, and then fish as well, when the cats left home the fish stayed, but in my new flat I just don't have space. With plants on all the windowsill, books on the shelves, and tubas on the floor there is no room for an aquarium. It may sound strange but I used to say "hello" and "goodnight" to them, watch them while I ate, or sometimes just sit and look. Realistically I know I don't have the space, indeed ideally I would like to get rid of a couple of pieces of furniture, so any additions are definitely not on the cards.

A friend of mine keeps guinea pigs, another has hamsters, I even had a friend who kept ferrets, I don't think I'll be trying any of them.

Indeed I shall just have to get used to being on my own, with my plants and my clutter, that may be just as well since I am far from being the tidiest of people. I do have a few stuffed animals, and I do have a few ornamental ones _ Ebony elephants, and china dragons, there may even be the odd dinosaur, but seeing todays Wizard of Id I thought I could do with a dragon like that!

About Me

I am in my middle years with an active interest in orchestral music, gardening, and visiting art galleries. I am many things to many people; I am transgender, a father and a son, a tuba and trombone player, a conductor and a gardener. To me none of these are mutually exclusive.
